NOTABLE EXCEPTION WAS ON AUGUST 18 WHEN A FRONTAL SYSTEM BROUGHT
MORE THAN AN INCH AND A HALF OF RAIN AND THE TEMPERATURE STAYED IN
THE 60S. THIS WAS THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL IN WHAT WAS OTHERWISE A DRY
SUMMER. BY THE END OF AUGUST A SHIFT TOWARD MORE FALL-LIKE WEATHER
BEGAN, WITH COOL AND DRY WEATHER FOR THE LAST WEEK OF THE MONTH.
THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE FOR THE SUMMER WAS 68.1 DEGREES WHICH WAS
0.7 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. THE WARMEST SUMMER WAS JUST LAST YEAR WHEN
THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE WAS 69.2 DEGREES. THE COOLEST WAS IN 2009
WHEN IT WAS ONLY 65.5 DEGREES.
A TOTAL OF 7.39 INCHES OF RAIN FELL WHICH WAS 4.80 INCHES BELOW
NORMAL AND THE DRIEST SUMMER SINCE 2003. THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL WAS
ON AUGUST 18 WHEN 1.71 INCHES WAS MEASURED. THE DRIEST SUMMER WAS IN
